a not so gentle reminder, WD40 can damage plastic and rubber parts!

seriously, this is why airsoft players don't use it on their gun. <-- a little OT info. it may cause discolouration on plastic and most importantly, it will damage the polycaps parts (loose elastic). lubing wd40 on nerf guns is also not advised as it will damage the "O" rings.

so NO to WD40. if you really need to lube your gunpla, use baby oil or singer oil. these are mineral oils, which are safer on plastics. plus, baby oil smells nicer. u can also use silicone spray, but some silicone spray can cause discolouration on plastic.

if apply then wipe clean, then what's the point you apply in the first place?

yes, polycaps are those "PC" labelled stuff, soft like rubber. petroleum-based lubricant will cause this kind of things(and most plastic) to crack or become loose or discolour.
general elastically lost on polycaps = loose joint. polycaps are fragile in the first place, putting WD40 on them just hasten it's decay time.

if discolouration, cracked, damaged plastic parts doesn't concern you, then by all means, use it.
